    Thematic mapping to estimate staffing market size.

    Socio-economic wealth indicators

    Company user management improvements

    The support team can now enable the assignment of different access levels to users, providing greater control of how the platform is used by members of your team. Please contact them to discuss.

  • Quick search on map view

    The quick search feature is used in map view to suggest suitable postcodes for a target location to facilitate a search. The user simply uses the “right-click” button on their mouse on the map view screen, which displays the five nearest postcodes in order to perform a Snapshot search and generate a report. This saves significant time when either the postcode or opportunity name is unknown, or an exact postcode is not required for a high level review of an area.

    Company report history screen

    The primary user can now see a report history of all searches undertaken by the company, including which users have searched for individual postcodes/care homes and when.

    Changes to planning screens

    Planning data is now live, with new build care home applications captured in our dataset and regularly updated. The platform has additional screens to display this data, and the PDF report has been updated accordingly.

    100% in supply filters for en-suites/wetrooms

    This change to the filters for competing homes enables the user to select homes that have either 100% en-suites or 100% wetrooms, to further refine users' assessments of supply quality in the market.

    CQC care categories and ratings

    CQC ratings for all homes are now available in the list view to allow the user to quickly see how each competing home in the market is performing. The competition can be filtered in map view or list view by CQC rating to identify the best or worst performing homes quickly and easily.

  • Planning data for new build care homes

    Planning data is now incorporated into our ‘bed requirement’ calculation under the Key Market Indicators, to enable users to better understand their markets. Where available, planning applications on Carterwood Analytics have a direct link to the original application held on the relevant local authority website. You can use the Tracker functionality to monitor monthly changes to planned schemes in the markets you’re tracking.

    Traffic light priority for searched markets

    Users can now individually assign a “traffic light” priority to markets being analysed. Opportunities can be quickly and easily assigned high, medium and low status. Once assigned, users can track and review these markets in their report history, to quickly find and assess the most important market opportunities in their pipeline.
